John Irving at his best. A modern classic, funny, touching, preposterous, raucous and wonderful.

I'm giving the audiobook five stars for a great story read by an awesome narrator. If I'd read the book myself, I may have given it four stars. Quite ripping, indeed!

Yeah! I *heart* Lisa Kleypas and her books. Quick read. Engaging. Sweet and sexy. I'm just glad that I managed to pick up the first book in this series without knowing the series even existed!

El libro me ha dejado peor sabor de boca que el primer libro de la autora, esa presunta obra menor que es La abadía de Northanger. No es porque la prosa no sea tan abiertamente sarcástica como lo era en aquél -más o menos sigue en la línea-, sino que el mundo en el que parecen habitar las hermanas Dashwood es anodino y lleno de gente, en el mejor de los casos, caprichosa y cotilla y en el peor -y mucho más habitual- avara, pérfida y malintencionada. En este nido de vívoras pues, no es demasiado bueno que no llegue a simpatizar del todo con ellas, o si no, con una de las dos. Pero bueno, la historia está bien. Como siempre planteada de manera que lo no extraordinario sea capaz de hacer que uno lea hasta el final del libro.
I GIVE UP. The writing in this biography is horrific. The sentences run on forever; long, rambling quotes from Welty correspondence are included without clear connection to the text; paragraphs refuse to end; and so on. The author has completely lost the scope of the work in meaningless details. Such a disappointment.
Having read Middlemarch first, my expectations were very high, and Mill on the Floss just didn't quite measure up. It gave a good cross-section of society in that time/place, and Eliot captures character types very well, but just lacked the breadth and depth she reached in Middlemarch.
While I enjoyed this book, I also found it disturbing somehow. It was almost too much being privy to every thought and motivation of the characters. I did feel the writing style was pretty unique and I kind of enjoyed the jumps back and forth in time for each character. It was a pretty quick read but definitely not "light" reading.
As the only child of a widowed bookseller in 17th century London, twelve-year-old Meg Moore stands to inheirit her father's entire estate. Because she is an heiress, Meg will be able to take part in the bookselling trade - her greatest wish - and will be able to chose her own husband. But Meg's entire future is changed when her father decides to remarry. Meg dislikes her new stepmother, Susannah, even though Susannah tries to be kind to her. She fears that Susannah will provide her father with a son that will take Meg's place as his heir, and that she will be reduced to marrying any man that will take her, or even worse, working as a maid. But over a year of change, Meg realizes that accepting Susannah can only bring good, and that there are ways that she can help influence her future, even if she is not an heiress. This was a fascinating glimpse into a time period that is not often written about in young adult fiction. Highly recommended.

Monday Starts on Saturday, the most well-known of the Strugatskys' books in Russia, would seem to be the apotheosis of the brothers' throw-everything-into-the-cauldron approach, bringing together science and magic, Russian folktales and Greek mythology, Merlin and Walt Whitman, mermaids and vampires, statistics equations and the Upanishads, and much, much more... none of which seems particularly well-imagined, or important. When there are so many points of reference, none of them stable, it's hard to get too emotionally attached. Unlike, say, Pynchon at his best, in this particular maximalist approach the references don't even seem to constitute any great web of significance—they're all pretty much dead ends (and the humor is pretty lame, too). Even at the level of imagery, the folktale surrealism on offer here (log hut on chicken legs, psaltery-playing cat, talking fish) compares unfavorably with the limited number of mysterious-in-purpose but specific-in-form objects in Roadside Picnic, which manages to be both scary and emotionally resonant (because different characters projected their own desires on to them). This aggressive eclecticism might have seemed a heady mix in the Soviet 1960s, and it doesn't exactly seem dated, but I have a hard time imagining its contemporary appeal outside of the former USSR.
